Rule Text
A trustee seeking fees for extraordinary services performed prior to the filing of a petition shall request allowance of such fees as part of the petition for approval of accounts, and in the request shall state the nature of the services rendered, the economic or other benefit to the estate from the services, and a summary of any special expertise of the petitioner in performing the services. The trustee shall request extraordinary fees earned after the filing of the petition through an affidavit.
